In conclusion, although more research is needed and a cross-sectional design has obvious limitations, patients with DEEs and their caregivers face multiple challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic that might lead to worse seizure and psychological outcomes in this population. ./cache/cord-257889-zcxn5cx0.txt ./txt/cord-257889-zcxn5cx0.txt
